Abstract excerpt
Many tasks in statistical genetics involve pairwise estimation of linkage disequilibrium (LD). The study of LD in diploids is mature. However, in polyploids, the field lacks a comprehensive characterization of LD. Polyploids also exhibit greater levels of genotype uncertainty than diploids, yet no methods currently exist to estimate LD in polyploids in the presence of such genotype uncertainty. Furthermore, most...
